Recent paintings and prints based on Venice, this series reflects my persistent interest in the fusion of architecture and figure. I want these work to elicit mythic overtones of place, with allusion to past and present in one piece. The subtext of this series is the increasingly high sea levels, resulting in waterlines that have risen to a point of threatening the ancient artifacts. Long format pieces-acrylic on paper, 15"X 44", other works are acrylic on Mylar with collage, aprox 22"X30". Contact me at rtetrault@telus.net for private viewing.
